The Other City: A Novel | Michal Ajvaz, Gerald Turner

Oh no! This one is not for me. I normally like rambling existential books, and try to give things 50 pages but I am 15 in , have no idea what us going on - a guy found a book with funny writing and weird things are going to happen but only a couple of sentences a page seem to actually matter to the story. I have a bunch of other Prague books I need to get to so going to skip this, it was also my #doublespin

🤷‍♀️

TheAromaofBooks Sometimes it's just good to find out a book isn't for you and get it off the list!! 3w

Dilara Oh well. Let's hope you like your other books better 😁 3w

The Unbearable Lightness of Being: Twentieth Anniversary Edition | Milan Kundera

It was beautiful this afternoon, not too humid, not too hot. I didn‘t want to go back to work after lunch. My current read.

The Swell Season: A Text on the Most Important Things in Life | Josef �kvoreck�

I haven't been able to really dig into this yet, but I am so happy Glen and Marketa have reconnected to release more music. The couple songs I've heard are delightful. I have such great memories of seeing them around the release of their movie Once.

Slowness: A Novel | Milan Kundera

Is anyone else having issues with Litsy's website? I have tried multiple browsers and posts don't want to load; I get "Bad Gateway" messages while waiting for the comment area to load. If I do get the comment area to come up, it takes forever to post my comment or doesn't post it at all. The app seems to be okay. Any thoughts/is anyone else having these problems?

Bookwormjillk I‘ve been having issues with both versions off and on. It just seems sluggish. 5mo

Librarybelle I had some slow issues posting #NancyDrewBR posts a couple of days ago—I use the website to post the buddy read questions. Not the Bad Gateway issue, but things were very slow. 5mo

Jari-chan Same here. But the app works fine. 5mo

PuddleJumper Yeah, I've had a lot of problems when loading comments or tagging people. It usually sorts itself out but it's frustrating 5mo

lil1inblue I had to send in my phone for repairs, so I've been attempting to use the website. I can like posts, and it's hit or miss if I can comment. I cannot create my own posts - I get the bad gateway message. It's a little frustrating because this is really my only social media right now. 5mo

dabbe YES! Are you using the website instead of the app? I am, and it‘s driving me crazy! I‘ve emailed litsy@librarything.com with the issue and took a snapshot of the “bad gateway” message. I got a reply this morning saying they were working on it. Maybe if you sent an email, too, they‘d know it was a bigger issue. 5mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle @Jari-chan @PuddleJumper @lil1inblue Please send an email with the issues to litsy@librarything.com so they know that the website is having some serious problems. They did email me this morning and said someone was working on it, but maybe if they see it‘s quite a few of us, they‘ll work even faster. 🤩 5mo

Bookwormjillk @dabbe will do thanks 5mo

lil1inblue @dabbe Thanks for the email address! I'll send one, as well. 👍 5mo

Jari-chan @dabbe Thank you. On it. 5mo

TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle @PuddleJumper @lil1inblue @dabbe - I think we're back!! I almost exclusively use the website vs the app because it's so much easier to track notifications, so I've been quite aggravated 😂 Denise, thank you for sharing the email address!! 5mo

Librarybelle Yay!! 5mo

Bookwormjillk Came online to test. Yay!! 5mo

dabbe @TheAromaofBooks YW! 🤗 I basically use just the web site, too, and I've been FLIPPED OUT this whole week! I think it's back, too. 🤞🏻 5mo

AnnCrystal Glad Litsy has returned 👏🥳📚💝. 5mo

Ignorance: A Novel | Milan Kundera

pick

This is a very touching depiction of how it feels to be an immigrant returning to your home country 20 or 30 years later. After the fall of communism in 1989 in Europe, Irena returns from Paris to Prague. She and others like her return led by nostalgia, but the ignorance, under all its forms, displayed by their relatives and former friends shows how absence can create a huge chasm between people, with no hope to reconnect with the past.

The Gardener's Year | Karel ?apek

Our Icelandic tradition continues! We‘re cozied up by the fire with chocolates and our new books! I‘ve been dying to read this play, so I‘m thrilled. 😊

Tamra What? Capek wrote a gardening book??? I associate him with R.U.R., which is a fabulous short play so reflective of the era and relevant today with AI. 2y

AvidReader25 @Tamra That‘s sounds amazing! I‘m looking it up now. My husband is the gardener in our house and I got him this little gem. 2y

Tamra @AvidReader25 so thoughtful! 💚 RUR is in the public domain, so you should be able to find it for free online. It‘s super short. 2y

AvidReader25 @Tamra Oh thank you! 2y

Interesting intersection of philosophy and psychology and historical fiction. Also interestingly found out it's Ari's favorite book. Enjoyed the insights into each character's mind and worldview.

First book of quarantine.
